UPDATE:

We're interested in what changes you would like see in our products. Do you have an idea for a feature that would help your workflow? Is there a small change that could be made to make your life a little easier? Let us know!  Share an Idea, Ask a Question or Report a Problem and get feedback from the Product Development Team and other passionate users on the Photoshop Family product Feedback Site on Photoshop.com.

In future it would helpful if you could use this thread as a means to add

"Features" that you would like to see in future releases of Adobe Camera Raw.

Please do NOT create additional new Topics and try not to duplicate requests by other users. Also, be thorough in your description of the feature and why you think Adobe should consider it.

Oh, and if you find it necessary to comment on someone's feature request/suggestion, try not to get into a shouting match. The penalty for doing so is...

b If you're asking that a particular camera is supported in a future release or just taking the opportunity to carp that yours isn't then please do so in another thread!

    Stan ..

    NX and ACR are really two different products--two different approaches. A lot of people, myself included, will probably end up using both. If Adobe had access to Nikon's sensor data, and their proprietary algorithims, I'd suspect they'd have already incorporated them by default into both Lightroom and ACR.

    OT: but incidentally NX has been pushed back to July. The last beta I used still tended to crash with intensive i/o operations.

    Any chance of adding a functional "Nikon Capture Color Simulator" button just so those of us who have abandoned Capture will feel a bit better with Capture NX coming out?

    Steven,

    You're also overlooking cross-platform compatibility. There's also a Windows version, you know.

    Why you insist on using two keys to accomplish what a single one does is beyond me.

    Hmmm ... an allegience to Apple Interface Guidelines or consistancy with another ADOBE application? Guidelines vs. your Band o'brothers ... hmmm. ;-)

    In fairness to Thomas Knoll, Apple has previously ditched their own guidelines when it suited their purpose.

    Thomas,

    Thanks for pointing out that Command-. has the same behaviour in Camera Raw as it does in Bridge. Again - this is not specifically documented for Camera Raw.

    However - Command-. is a VERY poor choice of key commands for the increase/decrease rating task, as it is already commonly used in the MacOS to Cancel a dialog or operation.

    In doing some quick research - here' some info from the Apple Human Interface Guidelines:

    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_17_section_6.html

    "Always map the keyboard shortcut Command-period and the Esc (Escape) key to the Cancel button. These keyboard equivalents, along with Return and Enter, are accelerator keys and serve the purpose of letting the user respond quickly to a dialog or an alert."

    Command-. is already used as a shortcut from increasing the rating of the seletect image when Camera Raw is in filmstrip mode. This shortcut matches Bridge.

    I suggest that you learn to use the escape key.

    Applies to Command S, Command O and ESC

    That's what I meant by exploring the program.

    Steve,

    You really need to explore the program and make use of the the fine manual and the help files. You'll get much more out of Photoshop that way.

    Ramon,

    I've actually been using Photoshop since version 1.0 and I get quite a lot out of the application every day. :)

    FWIW - in the CS2 help files, the Camera Raw keys chart does not include the mention of ESC canceling the dialog. (Or Command-S to Save for that matter). The CS2 printed manual does not cover the various obscure Keyboard Commands for Camera Raw (like using Command right/left arrow to move between multiple open camera raw files in the camera raw filmstrip).

    So... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the Documentation is lacking in this area. :)

    There is a downloadable Keyboard Shortcuts for Bridge/CameraRaw document I found on the Ian Lyons site http://www.computer-darkroom.com. This document also misses that ESC can be used to cancel the Camera Raw dialog.

    Try ESC

    Thomas,

    Thanks for the "ESC" tip.

    FWIW - I'm on MacOS and nearly every dialog box with a cancel button lets you use Command-. to cancel. I thought it was a standard thing (i.e. part of the Apple Human Interface Guidelines).

    I'm still sticking by this request for Command-. to cancel. As well as the other request for more key command options.

    >Currently you have to physically click on the Open or Cancel buttons (at least in the MacOS version). It would be MUCH more efficient to be able to use Command-. to cancel the ACR dialog, or Command-O (or shift/option command-o) to Open, etc.

    Your setup is screwed up. Enter (for Done), Command S and Command O are working just fine on my Mac.

    OK - Since Command-. did not work for Cancel, I assumed that Open/Save did not work. My mistake.

    However - I still really want a keyboard command for Cancel. (i.e. Command Period)
